Service Status - load

Is the Load status no longer reporting correctly? All of our servers show higher load % than they have in the past after the update to the latest Stable. One server in particular we are monitoring as its load went from .3-5 average to 1.8-2.5 after the update. When in these high states top is not reporting a stressful load on the server. The server itself only passes about 100gb of data each month so this is quite perplexing.
